"I hope Master Zhang can do what he says." Xiao Nuan said coldly, this matter was originally done by Zhang Yongzhu's nephew and Fang Renjun, the eldest young master of the Fang family, and they planned to steal the cotton and hide it for a period of time, and then sell it at a high price to make a profit. Wan Boyong and Zhang Yongzhu turned a blind eye to this matter, and left and right without losing their own interests.

There are thousands of acres of cotton in Dengzhou's official fields, and they think that picking dozens of acres will not do anything to them?! It's funny! When she is still Chen Xiaonuan, who had no money and no power two years ago!

No, even if this kind of thing happened to me two years ago, when I had no money and no power, I would find someone to steal the cotton back, and by the way, I would empty their warehouse.

When Zhang Yongzhu dragged the people away, Xiao Nuan turned his head and instructed Zhuge Qing, "Uncle Qing quickly reported this matter to King Sheng truthfully, and King Sheng wrote to me yesterday to ask me about the progress of the cotton theft, and the prince said that the saint is still worried about it." ”

As soon as Zhang Yongzhu heard this, he immediately turned back to Xiao Nuan like a whirlwind, bowed down and begged, "Is it the negligence of the lower officials, and please ask the county lord to forgive me?"

This guy said this in the same tone as her scumbag father, Xiao Nuan immediately became impatient, "What did the adult do and need me to forgive?" Xiao Nuan is just a cotton planter, but she doesn't have this ability! ”

After speaking, Xiao Nuan ignored him anymore, and directly communicated with Zhao Shuyan and others, "Let's go, let's go check the other three official fields, see how many cotton flowers are left, and report them to the saint." ”

Zhao Shuyan, Jiang Xicheng and others hugged Xiao Nuan and got on the horse and left, leaving Zhang Yongzhu in place and circling in circles.

Jiang Xicheng, who was following the small warm carriage, said in a low voice, "The general judge has always been stingy, and the county lord acts like this, and he will take revenge carefully afterwards. ”

Huang Zihou smiled, "That also depends on where he is afterwards." ”

With just this sentence, Jiang Xicheng was silent. This means that Chen Xiaonuan wants to take out his Dengzhou general sentence just because Zhang Yongzhu's family stole a few acres of cotton?

How can it be!

Huang Zihou didn't say much, and after following Xiao Nuan's carriage, he reported the details of the next grange through the curtain, "County lord, the next grange has a total of 400 acres of cotton, and the grange steward is named Wan Dashu, he is a distant relative of the prefect, and he will go to the prefect's house every New Year's holiday, and he is quite dignified in front of the prefect." Wan Guan has a nephew who works in the yamen, and he has a wide range of people. In addition, Wan Guan is an old cropper, and he is quite fair and kind......"

Listening to Huang Zihou's mouth, he kept reporting to Chen Xiaonuan about the people and things about the next Grange, some of which even he, a local, didn't know. Jiang Xicheng sighed, and Zhao Shuyan, who was in parallel, said in a low voice, "Such a capable little guy, how can the Japanese war be willing to give it to the county lord." ”

Zhao Shuyan smiled secretly, "There are more than one or two capable people in my cousin's hands. ”

Jiang Xicheng snorted, "Not really. If he has a lot of people in his hands, why did he send a woman to take care of the shop in Dengzhou! ”

"What's wrong with Sister-in-law Ding taking care of the shop?" Zhao Shuyan asked with a smile. A few months ago, Lan Zichen replaced Zhong Ren and became the shopkeeper of the Dengzhou branch of Ayaluo Nishang, although Lan Zichen is a female streamer, but she is thoughtful and spicy, even he admires Xiao Nuan's eyes to see people.

Inappropriate! Because she was a woman or a widow, the way she talked about business wouldn't work with her. Jiang Xicheng was depressed, in order to win over this sister-in-law Ding, who was more slippery than a loach, he even used his own sister, but he still didn't get any substantial benefits, but instead lost a sister to go in. Because his sister is now whispering in his ear every day how difficult it is for Sister-in-law Ding, how powerful she is!

After taking the first grange of more than a dozen people, the next three grange Xiaonuan inspected very smoothly. After turning the grange, Xiao Nuan took a group of cloth merchants back to the city to discuss matters, but he didn't expect to encounter the Lu family blocking the road and crying bitterly at the city gate.

When they heard that Chen Xiaonuan was coming, they went to the inn where she stayed several times to ask for a meeting, wanting to get back the cotton business. I didn't know that Chen Xiaonuan didn't see them at all, and today I heard that she took someone to inspect the Grange, so the Lu family discussed a strategy, waited for her to come back on the side of the road, and asked passers-by to help them intercede.

They cried, and soon there were people watching the excitement, together with Xiao Nuan's carriage, surrounded by three layers and three layers outside, and they pleaded for the Lu family.

Zhuge Qing is not good at dealing with this kind of thing, and Xuan Wu can't do it, Zhao Shuyan whispered to Xiao Nuan through the car curtain, "Don't come forward, let Huang Zihou deal with it." ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, "Zihou, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Yes, the county lord will rest for a while, and it will be fine immediately."

Huang Zihou dismounted and walked to a group of people kneeling in front of the carriage and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you making a fuss?" ”

Lu Hu's wife kowtowed, choked up, and said, "The people's woman, Lu Liu, is Lu Hu's wife, and these are my family. County Lord, my lord wants to invite your craftsman back to weave, but he is indeed ignorant and damned, and we dare not complain to you if you cut off his head. I just ask you to give us a way to live, so that we can continue to follow you in the cotton business and earn some money to buy rice to make a living. ”

"I beg the county lord to be merciful and give us a way to live." The old and young of the Lu family kowtowed and cried.

The people sympathized with the weak, and when they saw the old and young of the Lu family, they felt sympathy and helped to intercede, and some people began to loudly accuse Chen Xiaonuan of being unforgiving.

Huang Zihou shouted angrily, "You are really presumptuous! Lu Hu's death penalty was personally approved by the Holy Lord, and the magistrate of Ji County was beheaded, how did it become the county lord of my family? ”

"Lu Hu was beheaded, not only because he kidnapped the craftsmen, but also because he killed two nurses in the cotton mill. His methods were extremely cruel, directly twisting the neck of the courtyard and hanging the body in the woods outside the city! ”

Everyone couldn't help but touch their cold necks and kept silent.

"That's not what my master did......," Lu Liu said with tears in his eyes.

"This is the purpose of the prefect who has seen the sentence after the interrogation of Lou Zhixian came, submitted it to the Criminal Department for approval, and the saint personally passed the purpose. If you feel wronged, go and beat the drum to file a complaint, and stop my county lord! Huang Zihou's voice was even sadder than Lu Liu's, "You can know that the two nurseries killed by Lu Hu in the cotton mill also have children to support, and the son of one of them has just reached the full moon!" ”

"According to the agreement signed by Lu Hu with us at the beginning of the year, at most, we will not get two or three hundred catties of cotton wool. The Lu family has 600 acres of fertile land and 18 shops. ”

Hatred of the rich is also a common feature of the people, hearing that the Lu family, who was kneeling on the ground and pretending to be pitiful, was so rich and proper, everyone's sympathy immediately disappeared, and the wind began to blow back.

Huang Zihou didn't give them a chance to fight back, and hugged his fist again, "My county lord took out the cotton he planted and cooperated with Dengzhou merchants, in order to let everyone benefit as soon as possible, and every family can have cotton clothes to keep out the cold and quilts to sleep in the next year." For this reason, the county lord ran around and became thinner and thinner. Although Lu Hu broke the agreement first, the county lord not only exempted you from half of the fine for the sake of the Lu family's innocence, but also pleaded with the Dengzhou Yamen on your behalf, hoping that the Yamen would not embarrass you. The county lord has done his part, what else do you want to live? Don't you want my county lord to offer you up, and serve you with good food and drink every day? ”

After Huang Zihou finished speaking like a cannonball, the Lu family was drowned out by the sound of people pointing and pointing at the lively people.
